Recommend a Freelancer or Company

[barnst]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a freelance SEO consultant or company in the UK, who have proven results and don't cost a fortune?

We deal with very small businesses, who want to get some traction on the search engines, but can't afford much per month.

Or are the days of $250 a month contracts gone, because of the work involved now?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks iPositions - we are in discussion with a few people at the moment and ideally looking for someone closer to home - so I will get back to you if we need any more help.

Hey Barney I'd be happy to have a chat with you if you have the time, We deal with loads of UK clients at that price range. If you message me your number I'll give you a call (and show you some proof :))

Hey Barney

There is just no one size fits all answer. If you want to email over a couple of your clients details, keywords they are targeting etc then I can take a look.

There are just so many variables but in most cases, for small, local businesses, just doing the basics and going after regional keywords and the like usually does the job.

Happy to take a look at anything you have and give you some specific feedback for individual jobs.

Hey Marcus,

Thanks for your response.

The clients we are dealing with will generally post a few news articles and are maybe doing a bit social, but they don't want to have too much involvement.

They generally just want to get some results for some fairly non-competitive keywords.

My problem is I don't really have the time to dedicate to the monthly work, so we are looking for a company we can out-source to.

One example is www.stratfordenergy.co.uk.

But essentially - yes - they basically want to spend a few hundred a month and see some results on Google. So maybe the bugger question is - is this just not a realistic option with all the recent changes to Google and SEO world?

Hey Barney

It really depends on what you are looking for here? Do you have existing sites that are adding content and just need a half day of consultancy a month to make sure they have their on page and technical SEO ducks in a row - OR - are you hoping that these clients can do nothing to their sites and just throw £150 a month at someone and that will improve their rank (by whatever means).

For a lot of small or local business, just getting everything set up right with local search in mind can be enough but as ever, it's a horses for courses approach and there is no one size fits all, SEO product that can be applied.

Any examples of the type of customers you have?
